Batgirl and Stargirl are natural Kim alts, but I think Starfire would have the best dynamic with the pair. She would fit as well in the Kim Possible world as she does in DC, which I don't think is true of Batgirl and Starfire. She's highly competent but lighthearted, ignorant of earth customs, and somewhat naive, which means Drakken wouldn't have to change much to fit her stories. He could stay brilliant but silly, and he could still be endlessly frustrated by this seemingly dumb teenage girl thwarting his plots. With the other girls Drakken would either be made a much darker character to make him a bigger threat, or he would be so clowned on he would be completely usurped by Shego.
Also, Starfire doesn't have a secret identity, so she could get those stories where Drakken secretly interferes with her life. And she doesn't have a base of operations, so it makes sense for her to be globe trotting.
And finally, Starfire has the Teen Titans, which makes her a good foil for Shego, who was once a part of Team GO.
How so? Make her comet powers act like a dampener/kryptonite for Tamaranians and you've got it.
Although I'd argue they'd work better as Barbara Gordon/Batgirls (all three) or BoP villains.
>Starfire would be the best Kim alt to rival them
What about Batgirl or Stargirl?
In DC they may not even be the villains/archenemies to a specific hero as Drakken operates in multiple locations, has no real modus operandi or consistent goal. One month the Birds of Prey are on him, next month the Titans stop his plan, next month some retired JSA member stumble onto and stops his operation, next month time-travel shenanigans see Rip Hunter appear to prevent him doing something, next month a zany scheme becomes even more zany when Plastic Man is in the right place at the right time, next month he has pissed-off the Legion of Doom.

It is worth remembering that although he is sometimes played as a joke, Drakken is not some villain that is utterly-harmless or D-list or bound by a particular gimmick. He is shown to have plenty of resources, an ability to innovate and able to come up with a variety of schemes. What often undoes him is his own theatrics and tendency to devise plans that are overly complicated. In-universe DC he is probably the sort of character that some people dismiss but, on the other hand people like Batman and Lex Luthor hold in some regard and consider to be a real danger if one scheme is more lucky or he shifts towards pragmatism.
I like the idea of Dr. Drakken becoming some sort of ineffectual Doctor Doom of the DC universe.
Same, I think they work better as pseudo-family than as lovers. Like after splitting up with her hero brothers, she fills that void with Drakken. But I do get why they are shipped, though.
Shego fights Batgirl with Livewire and Poison Ivy and gets away at the end after backstabbing her partners and running off with a small moneybag. Not the haul she wanted but she's too pragmatic to stay and go to jail
I imagine a funny b-plot where Drakken gets rolled-in with Joker or other Gotham Serial Killers, has a brief cocaine-fueled murder spree after he realises if he doesn't show he's tough they'll all murder him, becomes the new kingpin for 5 seconds, then at the end runs crying back to Shego saying he wants to go home
>Drakken and Shego become a Supegirl villain, with Drakken acting like he's to Supergirl what Lex Luthor is to Superman. To Supergirl's eternal embarrassment.
Retcon the comet that gave Shego her powers into a comet that came from Krypton and BAM! You've got a hot version of the Kryptonite Man. A good foil for Supergirl

Maybe some rogue Amazon warrior. This question also made me think of some comedic scenario where Maxima temporarily decides Drakken should be her husband.
Shiv, who acts like/is a fan of Dr. D.
Classic!Harley Quinn, not that terrible being she is now.

Maxima decides Dr. Drakken should be her mate, because according to lowardian religion he is 'The Great Blue', so prime banging material tbh.
>Doctor Drakken
Like one anon said, a foe to various heroes. Mostly BoP and I did like Anon's idea of him trying to be a Kryptonian's archnemesis >Shego
Like above, but like Taskmaster, she's a merc for hire and shows up a ton. Will bail if her foe is above her paygrade or if the plan is too ridiculous >Monkey Fist
His obsession with Mystical Monkey Power leads him to the Red and he becomes an enemy of Animal Man and Vixen. Congorilla too, obviously. >Dementor
JL level threat, but seeing how his gimmick is his silly look, but effective use, I'd put him against Blue Beetle. Have him be obsessed with obtaining the Scarab. Also frequently fights Green Lantern because he wants that ring >Frugal Lucre
He screams Doom Patrol Villain. >Motor Ed
Flash villain. Ed also tries to steal/copy the Batmobile. >Adrenalynn
Roxy Rocket's groupie >Duff Killigan
DP villain. Or Golden Age Batman villain. >DNAmy
Bw'ana Beast baddie. I can also see her fight the Teen Titans.
They would job horribly.
Better question, how would Evil Ron fare in DC?
Starfire would be the best Kim alt to rival them, though Shego would need a slight amp to be a better match.

Who cares? I want to know how they'd fare in marriage.
They continue to argue like an old married couple and now also have kinky sex.
I can see why people ship them, but I prefer the awkward daughter/father vibe they have

Well, he steals about as much as he invents. In that one episode he had to use Ron (Rufus) to build robots for him.
Who would be the henchwoman that briefly works for Drakken which makes Shego jealous?
Bane. And then when Bane inevitably flips and reveals he was using Drakken all along Shego forgives him and takes him back.
Maybe some rogue Amazon warrior. This question also made me think of some comedic scenario where Maxima temporarily decides Drakken should be her husband.

The live action KP was bad enough. The last thing they need to is to be dragged into capeshit.
Kim Possible slots more easily into Marvel, I think. They already have a S.H.I.E.L.D. knockoff complete with a Nick Fury stand in.
OP didn't mention Kim Possible herself though. Just Drakken and Shego.
